Thanks to all the volunteers who stepped up last weekend to allow sailing to go ahead.

These were: John Casson, Tony Padbury, Gary Burrows, Barry Duce and Alex? (hopefully the right Warrington!) – and of course thanks as ever to those with duties who were there.

We have a significant number of people dropping out of duties this year often at the last minute and with no good reason which just makes it harder for the rest of us.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE – if you have a duty and can’t do it for any reason do the following as early as possible:

• Mark as SWAP REQUIRED on Dutyman and actively look for others to swap with.
• Approach others who are not looking to swap – often they will swap with you if you ask.
• Or find a future Vacancy on Dutyman and swap with that

If all else fails please let the Duty Officer know asap and at least a week before so we can advertise for a replacement

If you need help with Dutyman (it’s easy when you try, honest ) just contact me at [email protected] I will assist.

When people have made a real effort and have a reason they cannot do their duty we can often help but that is difficult if things are left until the last minute.

We need volunteers to help with the following Club Racing duties this weekend please

Sun 17 June 2018 14:00 Summer Sun – SS8 Helm – volunteer please

If you have a duty coming up and want a refresher on what to do please come along to any race and let the Duty Officer know if you would like to join a displacement or the committee boat to help / observe.

Don’t forget you can swap a duty with a VOLUNTEER PLEASE duty
If you can help please volunteer / swap in the usual way via Dutyman or email [email protected]

Many thanks
